Love At The Wrong Table

"Yeah, this intelligence source can't be wrong!
Santiago confirmed. Now that you've gotten in touch with them, look into the matter more thoroughly. I think they're working on a massive conspiracy that has the potential to topple the global order."
"That makes sense."
Emmanuel looked serious as he nodded.
Though he wasn't the Northern Region Wolf, the dormant blood of fervor had rekindled within him. Moreover, with the Holy Fire organization eyeing the Heart of the Sun and the Airspace Group targeting his child, he couldn't just let these two organizations go unchecked and passively react.
The Wolf Warrior was now able to launch an attack when required, having grown into a legitimate military force with support from the Northern Region.
The next morning, while Mackenzie rested at home, Emmanuel was busy in the kitchen.
The door was suddenly knocked on. Beatrix hurried to respond right away. "I'm going.
I'm going. Mackenzie, you have a baby. Avoid moving around excessively."
Mackenzie grinned, but she was curious as to who might be paying her a visit.
She was shocked to see multiple Quillen family aunts outside as the door opened.
"Are you expecting, Mackenzie? Why did you keep it from me for so long?"
With excitement, Samantha took the lead and spoke up.
The others did the same, appearing ecstatic.
The arrival of Mackenzie's child meant that the Quillen family now consisted of four generations living together.
They had a lively conversation with Mackenzie. Emmanuel emerged as well and greeted each of them individually.
Samantha saw Emmanuel and came over to compliment him. "Emmanuel, you did well this time. Thank you for securing a spot for the Quillen family in the peak competition." Emmanuel said in a humble tone" not much. I belong to the Quillen family as well. Thank you is not necessary."
His remarks gave off the impression that he was merely an employee of the Quillen family.
The other aunts gave Emmanuel a respectful glance, but Hannah continued to keep her distance and avoided talking to him.
Alessandra and Roselynn followed shortly after.
The elders from both families had never met before. Sofia, Samantha, and Stephanie all seemed courteous enough. However, Hannah and Sophie looked down on Alessandra as a rural woman and didn't bother to engage with her.
The two families had a somewhat awkward beginning to their conversation, but it went on until Hannah brought up a subject.
"Mackenzie, now that you're expecting, have you thought about what name to
give the baby? He'll definitely have the Quillen surname, right?"
The awkward atmosphere in the hall increased with this statement.
Alessandra paused, as if she wanted to say something but was at a loss for words.
Roselynn, on the other hand, was unflappable and spoke up for her mother right away.
"According to Chanaea's customs, children take their father's surname, right? Even if you want him to have the Quillen surname, you still need our consent. At the very least,
Emmanuel and Mackenzie should discuss it before making a decision, right?"

married, wasn't that already agreed upon? Do you think Emmanuel could have married into our Quillen family if the Quillen family had not desired a child?" Visit Novelxo.org to read the latest chapter of this novel
Hannah said some very hurtful things.
Not only did Samantha continuously motion for her to stop, but Mackenzie did,
too.

However, these words had already

"That's enough. Stop it."
When Mackenzie could take it no longer, she stopped Hannah icily.
She knew full well how much Emmanuel had done for the Quillen family, even though her family didn't know.
Had it not been for Emmanuel's financial assistance in preserving the Terence Group's stocks, the Quillen family would have long since declared bankruptcy.
